"Why would the Professor do this to us?!" Scott whined as he and the other seven waited outside clad in their new clothing in front of the institute for a bus to come and pick them up.

"The better question is…why are we going along with it?" Wanda added.

"How long is this camp?" Remy asked.

"OH NO!!" St. John gasped.

"What?!" everyone asked, turning around to make sure he was all right.

"I left my lighter in my large pants that I wore when I was still my regular size and age!!" St. John replied, feeling around in his pockets.

"Oh." Said everyone, shooting him a nasty look and turning back around.

Just then, Professor Xavier, Mystique and Magneto came outside.  "Oh, why the long faces?" asked Mystique.

"Why did you choose US?" asked Kurt.

"We actually DO have reasoning behind this." Magneto said, looking at his partners in crime.  "We all got to choose three members from our team…"

"I only chose two." Said Mystique.

"But nonetheless, we had to choose people from our teams." Magneto continued, trying to ignore Mystique.  "Naturally, I chose my own son.  I was going to choose Victor and Piotr since they didn't get to go on the race but then I decided that maybe they would be thrown off and confused if I chose them to endure THIS so I chose you two instead."

"Great…" said Remy, St. John and Pietro.

"As for me…" Mystique said.  "I had to choose Wanda so that you two could be twins and wear the same thing."

"This is all YOUR fault!!" Wanda said, angrily turning to Pietro.

"And then I chose the names out of a hat as to be fair and came out with you, Lance." Mystique finished.

"As for me, I was just going to choose my first three X-Men…" Professor Xavier began but then he gave a heavy sigh.  "But Jean walked in on me and Forge discussing my plans so I couldn't very well put her through it."

"So I took her place?!" Kitty said angrily.

"Yes." Said Professor Xavier, bowing his head in shame.

"Oh look!" said Mystique.  "The bus!!"

All the people who were small but are usually not looked down the road to see there was a big yellow bus bouncing around with musical notes flying out of it on its way towards them.

"Now be good!" instructed Professor Xavier.  "We'll visit to see your teamwork building progress!"

"I think our teamwork is good enough." Said Kitty.

"Think of this as a punishment for failing the last test!" said Magneto.

"We didn't fail!" said Pietro.  "We ALL won at the end!"

"Time to get on the bus!" said Professor Xavier as the bus pulled up and opened its doors.  "Have fun!"

No one moved.

"Um…no." said Lance finally.

"Hey!" said Professor Xavier, Magneto and Mystique.

"Why SHOULD we?" asked Kurt.

"Because if you DON'T then we won't ever turn you back to normal!" Mystique declared.  Professor Xavier and Magneto each slapped her five.

"Well in that case…" said Remy as everyone boarded the bus.  Professor Xavier, Mystique and Magneto waved the crew off as the bus drove away off into the sunset.

Everyone sat down in pairs.  Remy sat with St. John, Scott with Kurt and then there was a dilemma because Lance wanted to sit with Kitty but Wanda REFUSED to sit with Pietro so Wanda and Kitty ended up sitting together and Pietro and Lance sat together.

"So how old do you think we are?" asked St. John to Remy.

"Well…Remy a lot older than you." Said Remy.

"The Professor said we went eleven years back." Said St. John.  "So I guess I'm five.  I don't know what happened with you.  You got zapped twice."

"Yeah, your guess is as good as Remy's." said Remy.

The two paused.

"MUST you speak in third person?" asked St. John.

"MUST you sit Indian style?" Remy retorted.  "You're taking up more 'den your half of the seat."

"I don't like how my feet don't touch the ground!" whined St. John as he straightened his legs out.

Meanwhile, in the seat in front of them…

"Hey, I can adjust my image inducer so that I look like my normal self!" said Kurt as he looked at his watch.

"Yeah but someone would be able to swipe their hand right through you." Scott pointed out.

"You're right!" said Kurt sadly.  "That would be really awkward!"

"How would you go about explaining something like that?" asked Scott.

"Well, when you're blue and fuzzy with the ability to teleport, you get pretty good at explaining things that can't be explained!" Kurt…explained.

"Oh I see." Said Scott with a nod.

Meanwhile, in the seat in front of THEM…

"Like…why'd you wear the same thing as Pietro?" Kitty asked Wanda because she just can't stand horrible silences!

"What?!" Wanda demanded, looking down at her little pink dress.  "I'm wearing the same thing as Pietro?!"  Then she stopped.  "Why is Pietro wearing a little pink dress?"

"Well…he's wearing an outfit that's the same." Kitty explained.  "It's blue and not a dress.  Your outfits must have been a set that parents buy especially for their twins that are male and female."

"I refuse to be caught wearing the same thing as my horrible brother!" Wanda declared.  "Where's my suitcase?!"

"It's in the compartment under us." Said Kitty.  "I don't think we can access it except from the outside…"

Meanwhile, as we go even further to the seat in front of THEM!!

"I don't feel good…" Pietro complained as he looked out the window.  "My tummy hurts…"

"Your what hurts?" Lance said, raising an eyebrow.

"My stomach…" Pietro said.  "It hurts…"

"Are you carsick or something?" Lance asked.

"Yeah…I think so…" Pietro answered.  "I don't usually get carsick…it's this stupid bandana!  It being around my neck is annoying me so much that my stomach has started hurting!!"

"I don't think the bandana has anything to do with your stomach hurting." Lance said.  "Maybe it was the beam we were shot with that made us younger."

"Wouldn't we ALL be sick then?" Pietro said sarcastically.  "Think about it, slow-mo."

"Whatever…" said Lance, rolling his eyes.

AND THEN…IN THE SEAT IN FRONT OF THEM!!!

"This is gonna be great!" said one random kid to another.  "I have a thermos filled with apple juice and no more mom and dad to tell me what to do!"

"It's just too bad there are GIRLS here!" said the other one.  Obviously they were both boy characters.  "CAUSE GIRLS HAVE COOTIES!!!!"

"EWWWWWW!!" yelled the first one at the top of his lungs.

It was then that the bus driver decided to get everyone in a rousing sing along of 'The Wheels On the Bus'.

Just when all the main people that we know and love thought they were going to have to smite themselves, the bus came to a halt in a small parking lot.  A man with a fedora with a long feather in it entered the bus.

"Hey everyone!" said the man with the fedora.  "Are you all ready for a fun time here at camp?!  I know I am!  My name is Smack!  I'm now going to read off what groups you're all in!"
